That was a fascinating read, thank you. There's a Sonnerie on Ch24 for £131k, and having read how it's made I can't argue that it's not worth it. https://www.chrono24.co.uk/seiko/seiko-seiko-credor-gblq998-spring-drive-sonuri-watch--id18198102.htm Not too keen on the looks, but maybe it's just a poor photo. Anyway, file it under Euromilli0ns. If I won maybe I could get the case finished a little differently. Maybe matt white gold with a black strap.

Take a look at the Eiichi II as well.

Not a chiming watch, but the same level of movement finishing and a pretty amazing hand-painted enamel dial.
